Books
Many people live within reach of a bookshop, and most people live within reach of a shop selling books, but shops of both kinds necessarily cater for the general interest. It is very difficult for the mail order bookseller to compete with the shops for the sale of the most popular titles; Continue reading Why Sell Books and Calculators?…

Bicycles
The bicycle as a means of cheap and healthy transport has greatly increased in popularity in recent years. Even so, specialist bicycle shops are not numerous, and mail order is worth considering as a retailing method, particularly for bicycles which are a little out of the ordinary. Consider folding bicycles, for example. These have all the characteristics of bikes in general, but they also have a certain gadgety appeal, a recurrent theme in mail order.

Direct mail
The major strength of direct mail is that your advertising goes only to specified individuals. Provided that the list of individuals you use has been carefully compiled and maintained, none of your money is wasted — as it invariably is in press advertising — sending your sales message to people who are definitely never going to buy your product.

Anything that reduces the customer’s cost or risk or difficulty in ordering, or increases the value or rarity of what he gets for his money, is likely to improve the number of orders received. The main inducements are represented by the price of the product itself and the terms of payment. But other minor inducements may just tip the balance your way. Not all of them can be used in all forms of advertising. Your common sense will tell you what is and isn’t possible — you obviously can’t include an order form in a classified advertisement, for example.

The question is this: should you incorporate the p&p cost within the product price or should you identify it separately? The latter is neater, uses fewer words (an important consideration in classified advertising at least) and is less likely to lead to error among customers of uncertain arithmetical skill. The former, on the other hand, has the advantage of making the product seem cheaper, because few people take p&p into account while at the stage of wondering whether a product is worth buying or not.

One of your first and most critical tasks as a mail trader is to decide on your product. It may be that you already know what you would like to sell, perhaps because you manufacture it yourself or are already trading it in a non-mail order market. Or it may be that you are simply attracted to mail order as a form of trading, and have as yet no product at all in mind. Either way, you need to know how to assess a product‘s suitability for mail order before making a final commitment. Continue reading What Products are ready for Sale by order by mail?…

The sensible approach
In mail order you can begin in a very small way. It’s quite possible for someone working single-handed, or perhaps with just one or two others, to start and run a small mail order business.
